Open Government to require all car park operators to provide contactless payments

Created by Dr. Michael Stephen Frost
Closes on

We want the Government to amend its code of practice so that people can pay car parking charges by card. Car park operators who only take payment through an app cause significant problems for many people who have issues with their mobile phone service.

The restriction of app only payment causes confusion and stress on people, particularly those advanced in age, due to the range of different apps required.
Making contactless payment options available will make parking payment simple.
